Parts for your 2007 Honda Stream-Brake hose

2007 Honda Stream brake hose — purpose and service advice

Yes, the 2007 Honda Stream is built with flexible hydraulic brake hoses, so the part is absolutely relevant to this model. Honda’s workshop literature for the RN6–RN9 Stream (Brake System section) and the Honda electronic parts catalogue list front left/right brake hoses and rear axle hoses, with banjo-bolt connections at the calipers (rear variants may be disc or drum, both still use a flexible hose on the rear suspension arm). Those technical sources make it clear the vehicle depends on brake hoses to link the body-mounted hard lines to the moving wheels.

On this Honda, the brake hose’s job is to carry pressurised brake fluid to each wheel while allowing steering and suspension movement. Good hoses don’t swell under pressure, resist heat and road grime, and keep moisture out. If a hose softens, cracks, bulges, leaks, or collapses internally, braking can feel spongy, pull to one side, or the brakes may drag after a stop.

As part of routine servicing, the brake hoses on a 2007 Stream should be visually checked at every service and more thoroughly during pad/shoe changes. Look for surface cracking, wetness at fittings, rusted ferrules, twisted routing after past work, or chafe marks where the hose touches the strut or body. Coastal Aussie and Kiwi conditions and gravel roads can speed up corrosion and wear, so pay the hose clips and brackets extra attention.

Replacement is straightforward for a trained tech: replace hoses in axle pairs, fit new copper crush washers at banjo bolts, and use proper flare-nut spanners on the hard lines. Route the hose exactly as per the factory clips and anti-twist tabs so it doesn’t rub at full lock or full bump. After any hose work, bleed the system with fresh DOT 3 (or DOT 4 where specified) fluid, and follow the workshop manual order. Don’t clamp hoses to stop fluid flow
